Descrição
We are a couple with three young children and a cat. We're both teachers. We enjoy gardening, getting outside and socialising with other young families. Life is busy and we'd love help to tick some jobs off our endless to-do list!

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We enjoy meeting people from other cultures. In the past we have hosted exchange students but since our lives have become busier with the young children we thought this would be a good option to meet people from other cultures, expand the horizons of our children as well as get a few things done. Our place is in the southern suburb of Concord and we are opposite a bus stop which goes to town, the university and stadium (though a car would be beneficial to really see the attractions). We are long-term locals so can recommend activities as well as contacts throughout Otago and Southland.
Projetos que envolvem crianças
Este projeto pode envolver crianças. Para mais informações, veja aqui nossas diretrizes e dicas.
Ajuda
We have a range of tasks around the house from staining the deck, cleaning, landscaping and building or the option to look after the children so we can get some of the jobs done could also be a possibility for the right person.
If you're interested in visiting the Maniototo, we have a place in Ranfurly and there could be the option to do some work there too if the dates lined up. Please enquire, we're happy to discuss options and are quite flexible!

Acomodação
The accommodation is a caravan parked in our driveway. The caravan is self-contained with a toilet, shower and kitchen so depending on how much privacy and independence you'd like, there is the option to be fully independent although you'd also be most welcome to be in the house and just use the caravan for sleeping. It can be set up in a variety of ways so can accommodate a couple or friends travelling together, or even a group of people as it has bunks and can sleep 6. Outside the caravan there is a private spot of gravel where you can have your own outside area, or enjoy our sunny deck and backyard with us.
Algo mais...
There are many tourist attractions on the Otago Peninsula, many which involve wildlife. You could also plan a day trip to the Catlins or Moeraki Boulders from Dunedin. Tunnel Beach is only 5 minutes drive away as well as many other beaches that have good surf. St Clair is just over the hill which is a great place for coffee or dinner as well as walking along the beach.

A great first workaway with Nina, Bede and the kids. Nina was extremely accommodating making vegetarian meals and Bede gave me lifts to places within the city to explore. A really lovely and welcoming family and would recommend to other guests !

Phoebe stayed with us for 10 days and quickly became part of the family. She got involved with family life and the kids loved having her here. She had excellent initiative and did a great job of keeping our housework under control and also did quite a bit of external painting for us.
We'd highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking to host her.

We enjoyed playing with the kids and our work, painting and helping around the house was fun. They went along well with the fact, me being a vegetarian and we had good food!
We've been very glad that they could arrange a last minute stay.
thank you for having us!
